October 21st Mad. Bearmore: "My father was a cousin of Major Bearmore. My mother is now very far gone in dotage, and has almost lost her memory. She always represented Major Bearmore as a very bold officer and good man. The upper party in the Revolution stood in great awe of him. The family of Caleb Williams living at Annsville were related to Major Bearmore, and must have many particulars of him" &c

[marg: Curry.] Oct. 21. Thomas Currie, junr: I have always heard Major Mansfield Barmore well spoken of as a good and gallant officer, and as a person that was much dreaded by the whigs in the Revolutionary war.

They called him, "That old bitch Bearmore," and feared him as though he were a tiger. I have heard old Mrs. Bearmore say that he would have got well of the wound he received but for the imprudence of getting wet in some river when in a fair way of recovery, &c. -- I will correspond [with] you and endeavor to collect particulars of Major Bearmore from my mother, the Williams' family and others, &c. -- Address me at Peekskill Post Office
